MBA · 73/100 — La note Magna est notre composite 0–100 de la puissance nationale structurelle — cinq dimensions, plus de 100 indicateurs. C'est l'évaluation propre du Bureau, pas un miroir des chiffres de la Banque mondiale ou de la CIA.

Momentum +8 — Momentum trimestriel : la lecture du Bureau sur la trajectoire du pays au dernier trimestre, de −10 (dégradation rapide) à +10 (accélération).

New Delhi a servi de scène : Poutine a tracé une ligne rouge ferme contre tout déploiement de troupes européennes en Ukraine et scellé avec l'Inde un objectif de 100 milliards de dollars d'échanges annuels d'ici 2030.
